unspoken rule of commissioning

"Grandmother, how did the world end?" "The forerunners tried to make a living god out of Clippy, my child. They boiled the oceans and choked the skies and used all the moneys on the earth but they forgot that you cannot make a god out of Clippy. Now finish your ratsserole" "Who the fuck is Clippy"

I swear I'm gonna beat pantheon 5! Wanna be there when I do? www.twitch.tv/xaertes?sr=a

A progress shot of what I've been working on

Hey, time for some more doodles and maybe some monsters hunter later. Why not come chill? www.twitch.tv/xaertes?sr=a

Back to the Souls, I think I'm getting the hang of it www.twitch.tv/xaertes?sr=a

Finished 'Dreamlands Precipice'! Went for a brighter look altogether, but still wanted to make it function within the world of the Blue Blight.

Horde slaying is really what I ho to Rivals for. Who else wants in? www.twitch.tv/xaertes?sr=a

Added some more random Au'Ras (not anyone's character in particular). Probably my favorite to play as tbh.

Hey, reviewing The Funnel today! A choices have consequences game that was gifted to me by Bronzeman Studio! www.twitch.tv/xaertes?sr=a

Am I getting carried away, maaaaaybe. But imagine how fun it will be to paint these

I don’t “network,” I make friends. Other artists are not my competition, they’re my beloved peers and sources of inspiration. We all have the same goal; to share our art. I’m not gonna corporatize my human relationships with them. I am in my sandbox playing and I hope they join me.

Big piece 'Executive Dysfunction' done! Wanted to show of a bit of Blue Blight scenery and luckily had some body to spare

This is not wrong.

SOLVING THE LEAD CRISIS: The same guy who invented the chemicals that destroyed the ozone layer also thought to put lead in gasoline. We don't do that anymore. ourworldindata.org/leaded-gasol...

Next test print looks pretty good so far. A little smaller thanks to the antlers but the look and effect are still there

Hellbender is such a metal name for a salamander

Working on a new project. If it turns out well, it could be the beginning of a new art project on stream.

Busy week this week

🍎🦇

I'm not sorry for providing such exquisite entertainment opportunities as last night.

Former NASA climate scientist, now Senior Scientist at Project Drawdown, Dr. Kate Marvel, has a fantastic piece in the New York Times today. This is a must-read if you care about science, the planet, and the future. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/08/o...

17 of 28 Unown complete R, S, T #crochet #pokemon #unown

Trying to figure out what to do with your life does NOT get easier with time. I had no idea as a kid, or in college, and honestly I still don’t have any real clarity in middle age. At some point you just have to make a choice and follow a path I haaaate the uncertainty 😩

99% complete. So close to finishing Silksong! Will you be there? www.twitch.tv/xaertes?sr=a

Silly little clip from today. WARNING VOLUME - TURN IT DOWN LOL. youtube.com/shorts/NvDOD... #deadbydaylight #vtuber #streamer #aestri

Snap Shots are found amongst the riverbeds of the Deep Forest, using clusters of blighted algae to hide themselves within the water. Using pressurised water expelled through a nozzle within the tongue, Sanp Shots knock out non-blighted creatures nearby or disable machinery moving through the water.

The scale has tipped, I have completed more Unown forms than I have left. Here are N, O, P, and Q #crochet #pokemon #unown

Discovered in 1974, Azure Regents indicate a new direction of the Blue Blight with a focus on mobilisation. These enormous creatures possess wingspans up to 20 meters. A pouch filled with amniotic fluid is used to transport blighted creatures through swarms across the entirety of the Deep Forest.

Good morning! It’s going to be a bright sunshiny day ☀️ 🌱 #PNW

Great field #botany story of the difficulties of collecting seed from endangered species. Featuring the tireless and talented @naomibot.bsky.social . Lots of field photos in the story. I'm so glad this story got some coverage. #rareplants #conservation www.npr.org/sections/the...

I will say this again: Science isn’t just something that nerds do, it’s the foundation of the modern world. It’s why this app exists. It’s why child mortality rate isn’t 50% anymore. It’s how we’re able to launch people to the moon. It’s how we’re able to grow food that feeds half the world.

Another biologist and I got a space at the local farmers market and are just going to sit and talk to people about the local wildlife. Maybe hand out some stickers and coloring pages for the kids. No organization; just nerds. Stop in and chat with us, Davis. #DavisCa #YoloCo
